Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), on Tuesday, accused Rivers governor, Nyesom Wike of setting booby traps and mines for Atiku’s supporters in the state.
It may not be unconnected with the cancelled planned presidential campaign rally in Rivers State which the party linked to rising spate of insecurity in the state.
The spokesman of the PDP presidential campaign council, Mr Charles Aniagwu disclosed this while speaking on Kakaaki on AIT, saying that the party opted out of the rally because Atiku Abubakar and Ifeanyi Okowa believe that their ambition was not worth the blood of any Nigerian.
He added that Nigerians didn’t witness half of what Wike is doing in Rivers during the military era in the country.
He said the PDP’s selling point in the election is the abysmal performance of the APC pointing out that PDP would sweep virtually all the strongholds of the APC in the country.

“Is it not preposterous that a Wike who claimed APC had cancer and PDP malaria that was treatable and now turned around to support Tinubu and APC he once denigrated? That tells you the character of the man he is.
“Atiku has examined the whole scenario playing out in Rivers State. Yes, he may have enough policemen to secure him, his running mate, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa and indeed some leaders of the party in Rivers, but will it be possible to provide enough security for the massive supporters that would come to the stadium that was approved, cancelled and re-approved?
“So, like Jonathan said in 2015 when he said that his ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian, the presidential candidate of the PDP and his running mate believe that their ambition is not worth the blood of any Nigerian and that they would not want to sacrifice any Nigerian on the altar of wanting to be President.”
